    Frustrations and Concerns in the Sports Card Hobby (With Tyler aka T-Pott)

    Is the sports card hobby really in trouble, or are the things that frustrate collectors simply getting more attention? This week, I’m joined by Ty, a.k.a. T-Pott, to talk about some of the biggest concerns we’re hearing from longtime sports card collectors, whether these issues are actually new, and why the biggest concerns may not represent the hobby as a whole. We look at the sports card hobby as a “pie chart” and discuss why there are still plenty of collectors quietly building collections, enjoying their cards, and having fun in the hobby!

    Is the Sports Card Hobby Actually "Booming"? With Jon @Basketballcardguy

    The sports card hobby seems to be booming—but is it really? In this episode, I’m joined by Jon (@Basketballcardguy) to break down the recent surge in sports card sales, shows, buying and selling activity, and overall hobby momentum. We ask whether this growth represents more collectors actively enjoying the hobby—or whether much of what we’re seeing is actually transactional activity driven by buying, selling, flipping, grading, and investing. Is the sports card hobby truly growing, or is there something else going on?

    Every Collector Should Be Asking THESE Questions Right Now

    In this episode of the Card Adventures Podcast, I’m doing a Hobby Health Check-Up by asking collectors five important questions about how they are collecting right now. With the sports card market booming, rising prices, FOMO, and constant pressure to chase the next card, it’s easy to lose sight of why we started collecting in the first place. These five questions are designed to help sports card collectors stay focused, spend intentionally, and make sure the hobby is still something we genuinely enjoy. Whether you collect sports cards for fun, investment, or a little of both, maybe it’s time for your own hobby health check-up.

Whether you’re a collector, investor, or somewhere in between, this episode is about building a mindset in the hobby that can last through any market cycle.

    Why I Sold (Almost) Everything

    After almost a decade of building one of my favorite sports card collections, I made the tough decision to sell (almost) everything. In this episode of the Card Adventures Podcast, I share why I decided to sell my Kobe collection, how I approached the selling process, what I learned along the way, and how I honestly feel now that it’s done. I also talk about what’s next—both as a collector and beyond the hobby. Whether you’re thinking about selling your sports cards, consolidating your collection, or simply wondering when it’s time to move on, I hope my experience gives you a fresh perspective. If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Should I sell my sports card collection?” this episode is for you.
